Site Update
A Greater Painted Pen is now available for $10.00. It allows you to select one PLBC or PMBC artist for your breeding and rewards the artist with a $5.00 bonus.
Based on user suggestion, the Artist Ticket has been added to the USD Shop at $25.00. It has also been updated to yield a Painted Pen-esque bonus of $10.00 to the selected artist.
Another artist ticket item has sprung up too, the new Crystal Egg Ticket. In case your favorite artist isn't swayed by an extra $10, this item not only yields a $40 bonus to your selected artist, but also allows you to skip the queue and be assigned to their next list (so it's essentially an Artist Ticket and a Speedy Breeding Ticket combined).
Both of these items are compatible with predicts, so you can solicit a non-site breeding artist with these extra premiums. Read the linked Knowledge Base article for more information about these items, their payments, and predicts when using them.
A forum board has opened up to provide people a place to solicit predicts for USD bonus items, or for artists to set up shop and indicate that they are available for these items. Click here.

Would the Speedy Breeding Ticket artists be available for the Crystal Egg Tickets? <<;

Yes, they are available for it. Though with the wait times they sometimes have, what with how Speedy tickets can stack up, it might make more sense to get a predict from them, since the pay's the same anyway as they are a site artist.

"4. This item isn't compatible with PBC (as PBC predicts are USD-friendly for commissions anyway)." I submitted a PBC a few days ago and used an Artist Ticket. Is that still valid or do I have to ask for a refund/cancel my breeding now? Or do PBC artists just not get the bonus $10? I was also going to try and find a way to get a Crystal Egg Ticket to use on another PBC so this is overall very disappointing. I hope the no-PBC rule will be reconsidered. - Azi

Azi & Darsol (#6879) Artist Tickets were never compatible with PBC according to what my staff told me, because I asked them if they were.
finches (#51347) Yes they are, but for HBC you have to go through Frey.

iirc you could use an artist ticket to specify only one artist for PBC instead of the usual three? i'm not sure adding the crystal egg ticket to PBC would be such a good idea though, if only because some people have been in the queue for PBC for 2+ years and it would likely be infuriating on their end

I'd love to see her add a visible field on the Repository indicating the PSD's edit level!
